Does anyone know of any Reo stress test videos? I've heard some pretty crazy stories, I would imagine you could make the videos become pretty ridiculous with what the device is going through. It would be incredible publicity for the device. Something like the "will it blend" videos. Over the top to show the quality of a product.

Please take no offense to this, but what a horrible thing to suggest.
If you know of anyone contemplating such a thing, just seend me a message, I would be glad to give that REO a safe, secure, loving home.

No video, but pmoraldo has an interesting story of a Reo jumping out of his pocket 45mph on a harley.

A lot of us own Reos because they will take all kinds of abuse and still provide a great vape but intentionally tearing one up or dropping one in a blender would qualify as just plain.........stupid!
Lisa did a test on the powder coat finish...........She threw it down the cement steps!
LISA!
They need the pics!!!

I am not saying I would do that...and I'm not saying that I would put one in a blender. But think of how many blendtec blenders were sold just because of those videos. They show the ability of their blenders. A lot of people (myself included) have had mods break just from a small fall from their pocket to the ground. Rob could use a Reo put it through several stress tests then simply repaint it and sell it under the blemished section. He would only be down 30 dollars. With all the devices that would be sold showing the quality of it he'd make it back in a heartbeat.
Really there are enough threads about REO's that have been through all kinds of stress that anyone should be able to discern that they are a hell of a durable PV.

In my short time here in Reoville - I've seen countless testaments to the durability of these devices. There's not much to break, and whatever does break can easily be fixed with a repair kit or a quick trip to Rob. There's a reason why there's such a devoted following to them. They just work. And not only do they just work - they DELIVER! They deliver one of the best vapes around.
I taste chased through many mods, getting close, but not getting there - until my first REO. Just in the past week there have been many new REO owners posting their "I believe" or "I understand now" posts.
Have you pulled the trigger yet?

The people in the Reo sub-forums have seen it, and read it. It would be good to have a video to point people towards when the topic of durable mods comes up elsewhere. There would be zero dollars lost if this were to happen. He could take an already blemished mod, put it through it's paces and repaint it and put it back in the blemished section. I just don't see how it could do anything but increase the already large following the Reo has.
Captain, even if Rob were to do what you suggest, there's scarce chance he'd be repainting it and resell it. Robs blems are nearly perfect and on the like 7 blems I've bought, I couldn't discern anything I'd consider a blemish.
If you took a REO and, say, threw it at a wall or scaled it down the pavement, it would get dinged up and scratched and it's probably gonna work but It's not gonna be something Rob would "repaint and sell". He runs a first class operation.
If a REO won't take the abuse thrown at it, I can't think of any other device that would even come close to surviving either.
Dang it's hard to keep up with all the threads you started in the last week bro
In closing most Perspective owners do their homework and understand that a mod milled from a solid block of aluminum is gonna be a hell of a lot more durable than anything else out there
. A for a video defacing a REO as a selling point? Sounds silly. Any proud REO owner would understand.
While I love it that people find and buy REO's, I must think about poor Rob.
He works hard to keep his product in stock, and for a while wasn't able to. He is working double time on a batch of woods. If he did something like that, everyone would want one and he would be driven to ill health trying to keep up. Now, all in all that isn't a bad thing, if he was willing to sub out work. But then it wouldn't be a REO would it? It would be someone else's work and even though he would still be the mod master how would I know he fondled MY particular REO? Would he still ensure that each and every REO passed his meticulous QA? Would you still be able to just PM him and get HIM to answer you? Or if you called him would you be able to speak to him?
NO, he would be some huge impersonal designer raking in the bucks and things wouldn't be the same. He wouldn't be fiddling with low ohm stuff, or making LP's, or new RM's.... everything would be different. He would be some silly rock star, strumming his guitar all day instead of lovingly crafting REO's. He would retire a rich man. Pooh on that, he is doing excellent with his business model as is. I would hate to think of it, Rob strumming all day while OP turned out pieces of aluminum. Or worse, woodvils
Never mind. Carry on.
Yeah, I've started about 5 haha..I can't figure out how to delete the old ones once a question has been answered..I don't intend to dilute the sub-forum.
I would like to add if anything like this ever happened... a reo put through abuse to prove the point and made its way... i would purchase said reo as is... hmmm if it was labeled and made to be the Crash Test Reo... that would be even cooler!!! Of course the CTR would have to come with the videos on a sd card or something like that... would have to have them able and ready to show to anyone, at any point...
Take a REO - get a tube which allows the REO to fit snugly - just like a round into a cannonbarrel. Seal off one end except for a fuse hole. Fill with something that burns very fast and produces a lot a gas pressure in the process. Insert REO
Take a Provari - do exactly as above...
Get a hi-speed cam.
Aim both tubes a each other - ignite fuses .
Put video on you tube.
Bribe someone in the witness protection program to find you a new identity and a safe plac to stay , like south of the south pole or so...
Read ECF from far away while REOnauts and Provaristi are howling at each other
You can be sure though that both parties will consider you guilty of sacrilege and heresy, so become suspicious when firewood gets piled up around a stake in your neigborhood

I'd like to see some one explode a battery inside one or drop one from space and someone else picks it up put a battery in screw a rm2 on and have a crafty vape
But I think what would finish it for me is if a cat took a poo inside, just the sight of a cats turd sat on the shelf through the window would be enough

I can't stop laughing at that vision ...
Seeing it thru the squonk hole. Too funny. I hope my kids don't ask what I'm laughing about.
